SOPHI office

Currently, the company holds two offices in Cebu and Dumaguete. Their main office is located in DBPI IT Park, Calindagan, Dumaguete City, while their extension office is on the 9th floor of Mabuhay tower, Lot 8 Block 1, corner Jose Maria Del Mar St. & Jose Abad Santos in Cebu IT Park, Cebu City. 

Their Dumaguete home, a small office building beside TeleTech, sits across Robinsons Place Dumaguete and behind Don Bosco compound. It is a few walks away from technical schools and hotels located in the IT park.

Meanwhile, Mabuhay tower, their Cebu home, is a 16-storey Class A building within the IT park. Opened in 2017, the building is currently occupied with BPOs having both small and large businesses as clients. It is one of the two latest projects in the economic zone, with its second tower opened last 2018.

Both offices are located in PEZA-certified economic zones miles away from each other. With this, the company has set up remote screens for both offices so they can still connect and collaborate with their teams.
